KoolWheelz 2020
This year will see a new batch of Koolwheelz models.
No, that doesn't mean inundate me with requests! lol I already have my to-do list created.
Lets get started!...
the first new model may not interest everyone, but its something I needed to get out of the way.
Its a refit/remod of one of my earliest Koolwheelz:
Ed Straker's Car from the Gerry Anderson TV series UFO
I was inspired to revisit this model when I read about the restoration of the original car.
I have no idea if the project was ever completed, but heres an article about it:

I was never happy with how long and narrow this model turned out.
The actual car is indeed long and narrow...but theres a peculiar thing about scale model cars.
I learned this from Mattel Hot Wheels. To look right, model cars often need to be wider than scale (as they get smaller).
Anyway, the width of the car model, and a few other areas needed to be tweaked.
I especially didn't like the way the tail end flared out after assembly.
I also altered the paint colour and other artwork details.
I'm a lot happier with this version.
The old Koolwheelz model is gone...the download will give you the updated model.
